Mining Engineering

Reading structure in the field and in the model, because structure controls where ore sits and where ground fails.

How an exploration programme narrows a region to a target, and a target to a drill hole.

Turning drill data into a resource estimate, and a resource into a reserve that survives review.

Soil as an engineering material: how it is classified, how it behaves under load and water, and what that means on a mine site.

The surface chemistry behind froth flotation, and what it means for reagents, water and recovery.

globalaxistraining.co.za/courses/flotation-chemistry-fundamentals

Designing metallurgical testwork that answers the question, and reading results without over reading them.

Why trained people take shortcuts underground, and what actually changes it.

globalaxistraining.co.za/courses/behavioural-safety-in-mining

The physical impacts of mining, how they are measured, and the controls that genuinely reduce them.

Mineral tenure, licensing and environmental obligation, and how the two bodies of law constrain each other.

globalaxistraining.co.za/courses/mining-law-and-environmental-legislation

The technologies reducing mining's footprint, assessed on evidence rather than on claims.

Finding mining's hazards before they find you, and managing the ones that can kill.

globalaxistraining.co.za/courses/hazard-identification-and-risk-management-for-mining

How a mining project is valued and funded, and why so many never reach production.
